Xu Ling hadn't really thought about this. She was bored staying here all the time, so going out for a stroll would have been nice. She didn't expect Ruth to misunderstand.
"Ruth, can we not go? Ruth wants to stay with the Tree of Life."
Seeing that she was cautiously refusing and clearly did not want to leave, Xu Ling didn't say anything more.
"Alright, then you can stay with the Tree of Life."
Seeing that Xu Ling did not refute, Ruth breathed a sigh of relief and stopped crying.
Xu Ling also breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't expect Ruth's emotions to change so much.
Kaopu watched the whole process and secretly rolled his eyes.
It completely understood the little fairy. The little fairy was weak and thought she was a burden, so Xu Ling wanted to send her away. In addition, the Misty Forest was a perfect place for the little fairy to live, which inevitably made Ruth overthink things.
However, the little fairy was overthinking things. It wouldn't bother to explain, since bringing Xu Ling along already caused a lot of trouble. What if bringing the little fairy along would create even more problems?
It's better to avoid trouble!
But there's one more thing we can't forget before we set off.
Looking at Xu Ling, who was gazing at it expectantly, practically urging it to set off, Kaopu reminded her, "Remember to put a protective shield on the Tree of Life."
This is their most valuable asset. Although there is hardly anyone around, it's best to put a protective shield on it just in case.
They left happily one minute, and the next minute their house was raided, and when they came back, everything was gone.
It was helpless then!
Xu Ling nodded knowingly.
Although the protective shield costs 500 points, which is a bit painful, it's still a good deal compared to going out to play. She can get those 500 points back in less than a day, and it can also protect the Tree of Life.
Then she waved her hand, and her score dropped by 500. But it was visible to the naked eye that there was a transparent protective shield around the Tree of Life, which shimmered in the sunlight and even included the little fairy, protecting her as well.
That's really great!
Xu Ling nodded to herself, but the next second, she began to urge Kaopu impatiently.
"They're gone, they're gone, they're reliable!"
Seeing that the protective shield had indeed protected the Tree of Life, Kaopu left with Xu Ling without saying a word.
In the blink of an eye, the person and the system disappeared from Ruth's sight.
Ruth couldn't help but admire it, thinking, "It really is the work of a god!"
Xu Ling also admired it in her heart.
That's a really impressive move by being reliable!
In the blink of an eye, when Xu Ling opened her eyes again, the desolate scene around her was no longer barren; she was now surrounded by tall trees.
The surrounding trees were tall and lush, reaching into the clouds. Xu Ling looked up and saw that the tree canopies blocked out the sun, with only a few rays of sunlight leaking out through the gaps in the leaves.
Xu Ling lowered her head again. All around her were dense bushes and shrubs, almost as tall as Xu Ling.
This is a scene completely different from that of a barren land!
This place is full of life!
Xu Ling murmured, "This is the Misty Forest?"
Having grown accustomed to barren lands with only bare earth, Xu Ling looked around in awe at the abundance of lush trees.
The reliable system ignored Xu Ling's self-talk and was confirming the path they would take next.
Since the outer perimeter of the Misty Forest has been thoroughly explored by explorers, the two of them need to head towards the inner perimeter of the Misty Forest to avoid the crowds.
However, the inner area is teeming with ferocious monsters; if one were to encounter one...
Thinking of this, Kaopu looked up at Xu Ling.
Unlike Kaopu, who had many thoughts on his mind, Xu Ling's eyes were full of joy and happiness.
She was showing great interest in everything around her at that moment.
Xu Ling kept touching and poking at the tree, as if it were some rare treasure. While her hand was still touching the tree, her eyes were already on the small bushes on the other side. She didn't notice that the branches of the big tree trembled slightly as she touched it.
A few green leaves drifted down from above her head, but she didn't pay any attention to them, treating it as a normal occurrence.
Xu Ling's gaze remained fixed on the bushes. She vaguely saw specks of red in the middle of the bushes, and out of curiosity, she reached in and gently picked one of the red dots.
These are the fruits of a small shrub. Their bright red color seems to prove that they are ripe. Xu Ling looked at the red fruits in her hand and the more she looked at them, the more they resembled the raspberries she had seen before.
I wonder if it tastes similar?
Xu Ling became curious, but she dared not try it easily.
"Is this reliable? Is it edible?"
Xu Ling carefully held the fruit and showed it to Kaopu.
"Why don't you try it yourself!"
It's neither reliable nor impossible, but judging from Xu Ling's attitude, since she didn't stop it, it should be harmless.
Xu Ling then thought again. She was, after all, a deity, and in her previous life she had never heard of any deity dying or disappearing due to accidentally eating something.
Even if she's just a minor deity with weak magical powers, she shouldn't be so easily poisoned. At most, she'll probably just have an upset stomach and feel some pain!
Having convinced herself of this, Xu Ling unhesitatingly stuffed the fruit in her hand into her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste immediately filled her mouth.
"It tastes pretty good," Xu Ling chewed and swallowed. "Do you want to try it?"
She made another one, handed it to Kaopu, and gestured for him to take it.
Kaopu didn't immediately accept the delicious food in front of him, but instead looked at Xu Ling's expression with a questioning look in his eyes.
Are you alright?
"What do you mean? Should I have something to do?"
Xu Ling was very dissatisfied with Kaopu's tone. She had kindly shared the delicious food, so why was Kaopu hoping something bad would happen to her?!
Is there no justice left?!
Surprisingly, the methamphetamine had no effect on Xu Ling at all.
The small shrub that Xu Ling just touched is called hemp grass, and its leaves and branches have a certain numbing effect on people.
The leaves of the hemp plant have sharp edges, and if you're not careful, they can leave a small cut on your body.
At this point, the juice of the hemp will enter the human body. Even a tiny amount of this juice will soon make a person's movements sluggish.
If a large amount of hemp juice enters the human body, it can instantly render a person incapacitated.
Therefore, explorers are particularly afraid of encountering hemp grass in the wild. Although the danger of hemp grass is not as instantaneous as other things, the fear is that it is a matter of life and death.
Those few breaths of sluggish movement were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, turning him directly into a lamb to the slaughter in the eyes of the enemy.
If you can carefully avoid the hemp grass, it's not a big problem. But the problem is that the fruit of the hemp grass looks almost exactly like a raspberry, and the hemp fruit has a stronger numbing effect, instantly rendering a person unable to act and causing them to fall into a coma within seconds.
In the wild, there are always times when people run out of ammunition and food. Since raspberries and hemp fruits are very similar, people initially mistook hemp fruits for raspberries and picked and ate them. Then they lost their senses and many people died as a result, their bodies never to be found.
